Step into a unique convergence of expression and sensory experience as modular synthesist David Castellani is joined by contemporary dancer AnnMarie Arcuri in guiding you through a captivating creative journey.
Dissolving the familiar confines of modern music and dance, Hysteria Dichotic is paired with beautiful cinematography that envelops the viewer into a visceral experience.
This is Castellani’s first collaboration with AnnMarie Arcuri. In his words: “The interaction embodies physics in motion, as she interprets the sound generated by the modular rig and becomes a visual manifestation of the music, speaking to the transfer of electricity into kinetic energy”.
